I am a procrastinator. For example, I stay in bed too long sometimes, leaving myself with little time to take care of the things I need to do in the morning, like eating breakfast and getting dressed. The longer I stay in bed, the more my time to do all of this shortens. The reason for my procrastination in this situation is that I am still tired and have no desire to get up and get ready, though I must. Another reason is that I do not realize the impact of staying in bed longer on my future self. Staying in bed longer could cause my future self to be late or rushed and possibly forget things at home.
I believe that most of my procrastination is caused by being naïve. I do not always realize how staying in bed longer or putting things off will impact my future self. Something that will help me to prevent procrastination is having empathy for my future self. If I attempt to envision myself in a future situation of the effect of me putting something off, perhaps I will begin doing it sooner. Procrastination can be overcome with thought of future effects and empathy for these thoughts.
So agreeable... Nice point, good analysis about yourself
ReplyDeleteI like how you explained the cause and effect of your procrastination. I also like how you explained where you thought the procrastination was coming from and how to fix it!
ReplyDeleteThis is very true; I do the same thing. Although I did not know how much of an impact it would have on me.
